About Me...

^{Thank you for you interest in learning more about me.}

^{I am an Interior Design Consultant specializing in residential redesigns and remodels. I started my business in 2001 but have been designing and decorating my whole life for friends and family.}

^{My varied talents and interests in the creative arts give me an advantage not only as a designer, but also as a stylist. I have an eye for color and great spatial awareness. I have styled social events and photo shoots, and my passion for all things beautiful keeps me a step ahead of the latest trends. I approach every project with an awareness of the client's needs and a goal of staying classic and timeless. I apply many of the balancing aspects of Feng Shui when I do interiors and it results in a living space that resonates with the people that experience it.}

^{Redesigns and Makeovers...Going into a home where there are many beautiful things (and sometimes not so beautiful things!) and making it all work by moving, arranging, taking away, adding new...it's immediate gratification for me and always ends with a happy client. I have learned diplomacy and am sensitive to sentimental objects that each client holds dear. Having a beautiful home means a place you call your own, filled with those things that inspire love and comfort.}

^{Remodeling...Tearing down walls, demolishing kitchens and bathrooms, sawing through concrete floors....I love the entire process of taking it down to the studs and creating the vision. Learning patience has made me a better designer, understanding the process and the amazing crafstmen who implement the vision has created relationships that are solid and reliable.}

^{^{I am proud of the vendors and sources I have gathered over my years in business and I believe those relationships give me an advantage in my industry. I can count on the people I work with and in the remodeling business, that is a blessing. I am on-site and know how to time manage a job. I target and stay on schedule and have learned to relax. Remodeling is not an exact science but knowing how to trouble shoot comes in handy. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.}}

^{Custom Soft Goods and Textiles.....I specialize in custom window treatments, pillows and bedding and was trained by the best in the business. I worked exclusively in this area of the design industry for over 2 years. I spent countless hours in the workroom learning every detail of fabrication. I have extensive knowledge of textiles and suppliers. I am a member of the Kravet Presidents Club, selling over $30,000.00 of Kravet Couture Fabrics to my clients in 2007. I have good relationships with private mills in India and connections with mass production companies with mills in China. I provide the best slipcover and upholstery fabricators in Southern California because I spent the time and found the best quality our industry has to offer.}

^{Furniture....I love to design custom furniture. I have sources for ready made and custom made soft furnishings and case goods at the factory level and can have any piece designed, commissioned and fabricated locally.}

^{Commercial Design...This is a new area for me that I am excited to venture into. So far, I have done a small boutique motel and dentist office reception area. I would love to design and build out a commercial retail space or restaurant interior.}

^{Here's to all things beautiful!}
